In the study room in the inner courtyard of Wu Haogu, Olga personally took more than a dozen guards from Haizhou martial arts tenants to guard inside and outside the study, and looked at this place strictly. Everyone's eyes followed a crack man in his thirties. This tough man is dressed in a Khitan leather robe, and it is Ma Zhi.

In the past two years, he has been mixed up in Daliao, and his current official has become the envoy of the Tokyo Provincial Department.

The Wujing Road of the Liao State is similar to the "road" of the Song Dynasty, and the Wujing Jisi is similar to the Song Dynasty's all the way to the transfer envoy. However, the name is not a transshipment envoy, and the name of each division is also different. Nanjing Road is the transfer envoy, Kamikyo Road is the salt and iron envoy, Tokyo Road is the household envoy, Nakyo-do is the degree support envoy, and Xijing Road is the calculation envoy.

However, the Liao State took the path of emphasizing military force and ignoring literature, and the Wujing Planning Division and the Wujing Garrison could not be compared in terms of power and position, and they were even a head shorter than the state army envoys under the Wujing Dao. Moreover, the state military envoy has military power, and the Wujing Planning Department is just a civil official who collects debts.

So becoming the envoy of the state army has always been Ma Zhi's goal, and now he is only one step away from this goal.

If this trip to Goryeo can be successful, then it won't be long before Ma Zhi can go one step further and be promoted to the state military envoy. Moreover, Ma Zhi's "backstage" Xiao Baoxian has already given words, which can protect him from the fat shortage of the Suzhou Anfu Army.

But how to toss Korean talents to be considered complete? Xiao Baoxian didn't say it, and Ma Zhi's uncle Ma Renwang didn't say it either. It's not because they don't want to tell Ma Zhi, but because they don't know how to be considered complete?

Because this time it is not the land and tribute that will be extorted from Goryeo, but the two Raushzi concessions, which are said to add up to only more than 10,000 mu, and for a superpower like Daliao with five capitals, six prefectures, one hundred and fifty-six state armies, fifty-two tribes, and sixty subject states, this little land is invisible. Even if you take it, you can't talk about much credit, and besides, it's still rented.

If it weren't for Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Delide, Yelu Yan, Ma Renwang, and Niu Shuwen, all of whom told Yelu Yanxi with certainty that these more than 10,000 mu of land plus two tax customs could receive 100,000 taels of tax a year, Yelu Yanxi would not have ratified the "Jiehe Covenant" at all.

However, a vote of the Great Liao ministers only has to take money to speak, how to implement their big words, Ma Zhi, a capable official recognized in the officialdom of the Great Liao State, has to break his legs.

Wu Haogu's study is full of exquisite furnishings collected by Christie's, and there are several exquisite oil paintings hanging on the walls, all of which are works by Zhang Zeduan, Du Wenyu and Mi Youren. However, Ma Zhi didn't have the heart to appreciate the masterpieces, so he just circled around there with his hands behind his back.

I don't know how long I waited, but I heard the sound of boots coming from outside the study, Ma Zhi looked back, and saw Wu Haogu wearing a brocade robe, and a middle-aged scribe in a light coat walked over with a smile.

Probably after some training in the army, Ma Zhi, who was quite familiar with Wu Haogu, found a majestic and calm bearing in Wu Haogu at a glance. Although he still looked easy-going, a trace of fear still rose in Ma Zhi's heart. But he is also a big man on the scene, how can the strangeness in his heart be revealed on his face? Immediately arched his hand: "How is Da Lang?" Foolish brother has come to say good news to you! ”

Wu Haogu smiled, and then arched his hand and said: "The second brother is also happy, he is already the Taoist minister of Tokyo, and he can also be the envoy of the military state, right?" ”

"It's okay, it's just ......" Ma Zhi said while looking at Su Shi beside Wu Haogu.

"This is Su Zhongnan," Wu Haogu introduced with a smile, "It is the deputy envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom this time-Brother Zhongnan, this is the envoy of the Tokyo Provincial Department of the Great Liao State, and the deputy envoy sent by the Great Liao State to the Goryeo Kingdom." ”

After introducing Ma Zhi and Su Shi, Wu Haogu slowly walked to the middle of the study. There are several rose chairs and coffee tables, so they can also be used for reception.

Wu Haogu chose one of the chairs to sit down, pointed to the chair next to him, and asked Ma Zhi and Su Shi to sit down as well. Olga came in with a tray and served fragrant tea to the three people in the study.

"Go and keep guard outside the door." Wu Haogu commanded. Now he has Zhao Ji's eyes and ears at home, so he has to be a little careful. Just when he had a secret meeting with Ma Zhi and Su Shi, Guo Xiaoxiao was called by Du Wenyu to go to the house as a model......

"Whoa."

Watching Olga leave, Wu Hao Gucai picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of cloud tea, and said to Ma Zhi: "Second Brother Ma, when this errand in the Goryeo Kingdom is over, you should become the envoy of the Shangzhou Army, right?" Which state army is it, and is there an eyebrow? ”

Ma Zhi smiled bitterly: "Da Lang, I'm afraid this errand will not be easy to do!" ”

Wu Haogu smiled: "How come? Goryeo still dared to start a war with the Great Liao and the Great Song at the same time? was beaten by hundreds of raw girls and turned on their backs, they should know that it is awesome, right? ”

Ma Zhi shook his head and said, "I know it, but I'm not reconciled!" Yin Qiang, who lost the battle, was promoted to the governor of the political affairs, the secretary of the criminal department and the prince's guest in July! ”

"Yin Qiang? Isn't it Lin Gan who led the troops? "Wu Haogu's news seems to be a bit lagging behind.

Ma Zhi said: "Lin Gan was defeated by the birth of Jurchen at the beginning of this year. Subsequently, the king of Goryeo sent the Privy Council to envoy Yin Qian to the northeast to camp soldiers and horses, and lead the troops to fight again. It is said that in a big battle with 500 people who gave birth to a girl in Bidengshui, they were beheaded at level 30, and more than half of their tens of thousands of people were killed and wounded. So I had to humble myself and return the alliance. ”

Su Shi on the side gasped, "Behead level 30, more than half of your tens of thousands of people have been trapped!" Is it really that powerful to give birth to a girl? ”

"yes!" Ma Zhi said, "When the news reached Fuhuling (Autumn Bowl Camp), the Great Liao Emperor and the important ministers were shocked!"

The previous defeat can also be seen as Lin Gan's arrogance and unpreparedness, so that the birth girl really attacked him. But the battle of Bidengshui was a dignified battle, and the loss was so ugly, it can only be said that the combat power of the raw girl is really strong, far beyond expectations! ”

"Then how is the Emperor of Liao going to respond?" Wu Haogu asked.

"Hehe," Ma Zhi smiled, "who knows?" I'm just a planner, and it's not easy to take care of my own affairs. ”

It's not that he wants to hide anything, but he really doesn't know what Yelu Yanxi is thinking? Anyway, the Great Liao Emperor was only nervous for a few days, and then turned his attention to the marriage between Princess Cheng'an and Zhao Qianshun, the king of Xiping. In fact, Yelu Yanxi couldn't help it.

Wu Haogu and Su Shi glanced at each other and didn't ask any more questions.

Wu Haogu asked: "The Goryeo people still plan to take revenge?" ”

"That's right, Wang Hao, the king of Goryeo, will definitely not give up," Ma Zhi said, "otherwise how could he let Yin Zong, who lost the battle, be the governor of the government?" ”

"That's good!" Wu Haogu drank tea, "Since you still want to take revenge, you won't offend our two countries at the same time." Second Brother Ma, your errand will definitely be successful. ”

"You have to have 100,000 yuan a year to be considered a success!" Ma Zhi said, "Everything else is easy to say, but money is not easy to say!" ”

Although the military system of the Liao State was not based on employment, with the development of the commodity economy in the Liao State, the role of money in the military has become more and more significant. During the time of Liao Taizu and Liao Taizong, there was no need to give money to order the soldiers and horses of the hinterland. But when it comes to Yelu Hongji, it won't work if you don't give money, if you don't give money, many palace tent soldiers and tribal soldiers don't even have weapons and armor, so how can they fight with a soft bow and a few feather arrows?

Therefore, Yelu Yanxi can't fight without money in his pocket, and he can only watch the birth of the Jurchen grow stronger step by step.

"It's easy to do!" Wu Hao Gudao, "As long as the Koreans are willing to allow us to occupy Haizhou Pass and Busan Pass for a long time, and let us build an autonomous commercial city with 10,000 acres of land in Haizhou and Busan ports, we can give us a rent of 100,000 yuan a year." ”

"Long-term possession?" Ma Zhi frowned, "Isn't it a fifteen-year period?" ”

"Gotta prolong." Wu Hao Gu said, "I let people calculate the account, this transaction will take 100 years to earn!" Otherwise, you will have to lose money, and you can't do a loss-making business.

In addition, the term of the municipality should also be 100 years. So take advantage of this opportunity to raise the price by Da Liao. ”

Grant of customs rights for 100 years, plus two concessions with a lease term of 100 years...... At first glance, it seems a bit like an unequal treaty. However, Mu Haogu was not an evil Western colonizer, and he could not and could not impose unequal treaties on the people of Goryeo.

"Can the Koreans agree?" Ma Zhi shook his head again and again.

Su Shi, who was on the side, was frowning. Wu Haogu is too shameless, right? The right to collect customs fees for 15 years has been increased to 100 years. And to add two commercial markets covering an area of 10,000 acres, it is also 100 years!

"Yes!" Wu Haogu smiled, "As long as the Goryeo people still want to take revenge, they have to rely on the Great Liao Kingdom!" The Great Liao Kingdom could give them better weapons and horses, and they could also lend their generals to Goryeo to help them train their troops.

The Great Liao Kingdom has helped them so much, increasing the tax and customs lease period, and asking for two small commercial markets, shouldn't it be too much? ”

"This ......" Ma Zhi is really not sure.

The war between the Goryeo Kingdom and the Shengnuzhen has just begun, but there is a feud with the Khitans! I think that I had to lose a Jiang Handan Jiang Lao champion to fight, otherwise the Goryeo Kingdom would have been destroyed long ago.

Wu Haogu saw that Ma Zhi was hesitant, and said with a smile: "Second Brother Ma, you can mention it according to this condition." I'll arrange everything else, and make sure that the Koreans will accept your terms. Even if the Goryeo people don't want to take revenge, they still want to keep their country from being taken away by the Jurchens, right? ”

He paused, and then said to Su Shi: "Brother Zhongnan, the Koreans have always been good at profiting from Song Liao, but this time we won't give them a chance." It is important to let the Korean people know that our Song and Liao have formed an in-laws, and they will be like a family in the future, and there will be no such thing as Lianli controlling Liao. ”
